House Of BlueEyes Fashion Extravaganza

The Waterfront Stage

Friday 17th July, 2009
18:00 - 18:40

Bringing together the worlds of fashion, art, music and film in an exciting and vibrant culture collision the House Of BlueEyes collective will be staging an incredible fashion show exclusively at Latitude Festival this year.

Using Latitude’s striking setting as the backdrop and performed over the festival’s beautiful lake, label creator Johnny BlueEyes together with his army of designers and artists will stage a magnificent rock n' roll circus of exquisite collection of garments and accessories accompanied by fantastic music and live performances.

Titled, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Faerie’, this will be a magical show of high fashion, loud music and stunning art. The fashion show including fierce catwalks and performance art, will feature fabulous designs and specially made special pieces to be premiered at the Festival. As always, music will play an integral part of the show and soundtracking the event will be a heart-pumping mixture of classic and modern rock ‘n’ roll, anything from Primal Scream to Iggy Pop with a few extra little surprises to keep the party going.

Taking inspiration by their Autumn/Winter 09 collection ‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Darkness Within’ the clothes will embody the dark side of rock ‘n’ roll; vampires, night crawlers and horror films as well as the Rolling Stones’ classic ‘Sympathy For The Devil’.  Adding to the visual experience will be immense hair sculptures created by award-winning hair and make-up stylist Tamara Walsh who trained at the Royal Opera House. She will be making the glorious pieces in her studio in Paris and will transport them straight to the festival for the show.

House Of BlueEyes are a unique collective of 10 artists, stylists, dressmakers and tailors all with their own specific talents, all pushing the boundaries of the restrictive worlds of fashion and art, embracing new ideas and new ideals. JohnnyBlueEyes is the figurehead at the very heart of this creative team. Inspired in equal parts by the Andy Warhol factory scene in 60’s/70’s New York and the punk revolution of the late 70’s, the House mixes fashion with music; designing and making outfits and costumes for a whole host of stars and emerging artists for fashion shoots, press shots and videos. Clients include Beth Ditto and Gossip, Scissor Sisters, Take That, Klaxons, Bishi and Mission District as well as CSS frontwoman Lovefoxx and her stylishly iconic catsuits. Launching the label in September of last year, Johnny BlueEyes blasted onto the scene with his first collection ‘GLAMDANDYCLOWN’. The show, hosted by Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters featured Beth Ditto sporting a pink lamé all-in-one and Kate Moss’s first catwalk appearance in over four years.

This dynamic and vital creative powerhouse will undoubtedly produce another stunning show with cool clothes, famous faces and an infectious party spirit. The perfect addition to the festival weekend.
